'''Jonny's Place''' is a website created by [[Jonny Axehandle]] on October 6th, 2002. Originally, it wasn't much more than a crappy Iboard with too many forums. Sometime in 2003, [[FlashTHD]] found a link to the board and advertised it on a number of places, such as [[Sonic Classic]]. This caused for a large increase in members. Unfortunately, [[Sonic Chaotix]] was among them and started to wreak havoc immediately. When he was banned, he re-joined, faking [[ThunderPX]], who later joined as well and exposed him. Some time later, Flash did not have enough time to continue working on the site, so he gave his admin status to Thunder. Then, Jonny's Place was going to fuse with [[ComiChaos]], granting Flash new admin status. However, this merger was doomed to fail due to staff conflicts. Jonny moved the board to an [[Invision Power Board]] hosted on [[SmooveNET]], and also gave it a .com domain and added a website. The site grew immensely until Jonny got fed up with SmooveNET's insanely bad customer service in late 2005 and moved to Hostgator. Sadly, the original post database was lost, and the board became a bit less active for a while, although it is now getting back on it's feet. Currently, the site is going for a major revamp- instead of being a general Sonic site, it will be a wiki featuring strategy guides. | '''Jonny's Place''' is a website created by [[Jonny Axehandle]] on October 6th, 2002.

Jonny's Place is a website created by Jonny Axehandle on October 6th, 2002. Originally, it wasn't much more than a crappy Iboard with too many forums. Sometime in 2003, FlashTHD found a link to the board and advertised it on a number of places, such as Sonic Classic. This caused for a large increase in members. Unfortunately, Sonic Chaotix was among them and started to wreak havoc immediately. When he was banned, he re-joined, faking ThunderPX, who later joined as well and exposed him. Some time later, Flash did not have enough time to continue working on the site, so he gave his admin status to Thunder. Then, Jonny's Place was going to fuse with ComiChaos, granting Flash new admin status. However, this merger was doomed to fail due to staff conflicts. Jonny moved the board to an Invision Power Board hosted on SmooveNET, and also gave it a .com domain and added a website. The site grew immensely until Jonny got fed up with SmooveNET's insanely bad customer service in late 2005 and moved to Hostgator. Sadly, the original post database was lost, and the board became a bit less active for a while, although it is now getting back on it's feet. Currently, the site is going for a major revamp- instead of being a general Sonic site, it will be a wiki featuring strategy guides.
